Iterative reweighted least-squares design of FIR filters

Abstract
Develops a new iterative reweighted least squares algorithm for the design of optimal L/sub p/ approximation FIR filters. The algorithm combines a variable p technique with a Newton's method to give excellent robust initial convergence and quadratic final convergence. Details of the convergence properties when applied to the L/sub p/ optimization problem are given. The primary purpose of L/sub p/ approximation for filter design is to allow design with different error criteria in pass and stopband and to design constrained L/sub 2/ approximation filters. The new method can also be applied to the complex Chebyshev approximation problem and to the design of 2D FIR filters.<>
